Replacement needles for vintage sewing machine

Question:
I love your "antique" articles even though I am very familiar with these articles since my family used them when I was young. My old Sears sewing machine is from the early1900s. Do you have the name of a source for old sewing machine needles -- the long variety -- either in Spokane or the Coeur d'Alene area? I broke the last machine needle and can't find others to fit. I've checked antique stores for these but haven't been successful.
My mother said she gave away the old butter churn.
I have an old glass mayonnaise maker with an apparatus that goes up and down into the glass to beat the oil into the egg--- I'll try that out again someday. Thanks for the reminiscences! Linda Lewis, Coeur d'Alene
Answer:
Thanks for reading the columns and writing to me. I spoke to Donna at Boyd-Walker Sewing Machine Company in Spokane and she told me they sell parts, including needles, for most old machines. If they don't have the needle you need, they can probably order it.
Boyd-Walker is located at 1926 E. Sprague, and the phone number is 509-535-1501. Good luck!
